Yes, and my question is: to which point of time is he referring? I looked
further back in time again, and in Emacs 16.56 (1985!), the isearch.el
file already has (in the comments and in the code):
"^G means the user tried to quit"
"^S means search again, forward, for the same string"
"^R is similar but it searches backward"
"^W means gobble next word from buffer"
"^Y means gobble rest of line from buffer"
And ^Q was already bound to isearch-quote-char.
At that point of time IIUC isearch was terminated by either ESC or a
random control char.
Apparently (but I could not find a precise point of time) RET started to
mean exit search near the end of the development of Emacs 18, around 1990.
